We’ll keep this for up to 8 years after your last interaction with us. That interaction could be by booking a ticket, signing up to our mailing list or sending us an email.

A key bit of info we need to send out any information for a gig to your home address.

This is to help us get a better understanding of our audience and to send you information about the gigs we think you’ll like.

By signing up to our mailing list or buying a ticket you’re confirming that you are over 13. If this is not the case, please email dpo@dhpfamily.com to have your details removed. We also use your D.O.B to make sure we’re not sending you any promotions related to alcohol if you’re under 18.

As your D.O.B stays the same we’ll hold this information for as long as you’re opted in to our mailing lists (we’ll check in with you regularly to see that you still want to be on our database).
